Description

On Beals Island, while most jobs are centered around lobstering, boat building, trap building, and seafood distribution, the fishing community is dying away as more tourists replace the native island population. Elizabeth Massa captures how the changes on Beals Island could force lifelong residents to leave to find new work.
